    In 2018, OceanGate's director of marine operations, David Lochridge, composed a report documenting safety concerns he had about the Titan. In court documents, Lochridge said that he had urged the company to have the Titan assessed and certified by an agency, but OceanGate had declined to do so, citing an unwillingness to pay. He also said that the transparent viewport on its forward end was only certified to reach a depth of 1,300 m (4,300 ft), only a third of the depth required to reach the Titanic. Lochridge was also concerned that OceanGate would not perform nondestructive testing on the vessel's hull before undertaking manned dives, and alleged that he was "repeatedly told that no scan of the hull or Bond Line could be done to check for delaminations, porosity and voids of sufficient adhesion of the glue being used due to the thickness of the hull".
    OceanGate said that Lochridge, who was not an engineer, had refused to accept safety approvals from OceanGate's engineering team, and that the company's evaluation of the Titan hull was stronger than any kind of third-party evaluation Lochridge thought necessary. OceanGate sued Lochridge for allegedly breaching his confidentiality contract and making fraudulent statements. Lochridge countersued, stating that he had been wrongfully terminated as a whistleblower for bringing up concerns about the Titan's ability to operate safely. The two parties settled a few months later.
    Later in 2018, the Marine Technology Society wrote a letter to Rush expressing "unanimous concern regarding the development of 'TITAN' and the planned Titanic Expedition", indicating that the "current experimental approach [...] could result in negative outcomes (from minor to catastrophic) that would have serious consequences for everyone in the industry". A signatory of the letter later told The New York Times that Rush had called him after reading it to tell him that he believed industry standards were stifling innovation.

      Thank you for the story. Knowing that it has only gone to one third of the depth of the Titanic and falsely claiming it can go all the way to reach the ship without problems, shows blatant irresponsibility, negligence, misrepresentation, malfeasance, fraud. and more. There is definitely a lawsuit in there.
      In the very first deep sub descent into the Mariana Trench (36,000ft) in 1960 by Jacques Picard and Don Walsh, which was meticulously prepared for for years, there was actually a similar incident. Just before they reached the bottom of the trench after 4 hours descent, at 30,000ft, they heard a loud crack but decided to continue to the bottom and started looking around. Then they noticed cracks on their viewing window. Picard cut short their time at the bottom at 20 minutes and decided to ascend immediately. They succeeded in 3hrs 45mins and reached topside unscathed, to become the first men to reach the deepest part of the ocean. It is a great testament to the fine design and engineering of the bathyscaphe Trieste by Jacques Picard and to the professionalism, presence of mind and bravery of both men.
      James Cameron has said in other interviews that he has been in a similar sub with a carbon fibre hull and reported that he had heard cracking sounds as they descended. Other people who have ridden in Titan reported hearing this as well. Rush has dismissed this as 'normal' and nothing to worry about. Cameron said that CF is a composite material made of different substances which behave differently under stress, which in turn will weaken its overall structure over time. The cumulative cycles of descent/ascent/stress the composite material go through will cause it to have a fatal breach at some point. In contrast, a single homogenous material such as solid steel or titanium or ceramic can withstand multiple cycles much better for far longer and is therefore much safer. But they eschewed those in favour of CF.

The irony of hubris being so common between the Titanic and the Titan is, indeed, striking. As Mr. Cameron and all who have worked on or below the seas know, the sea just is.

He had many, many, many backup ways to be located if he found himself in dire circumstances, while this wouldn't have helped in the case of an implosion, there's definitely necessary certification that must come with these deep submersibles regardless of where they are operated...

    The problem with using carbon fiber/Titanium laminate (or any laminate at all) is that the weakest part is the glue holding everything together. The glue is much less strong, and any breakdown will occur in the glue first. The pressures at the depth they were diving are immense. Repeatedly diving without stringent detailed inspections of the submersible's hull designed to detect such breakdowns, is unconscionable. One former passenger, speaking about his experience on diving the Titanic in that submersible, said it best; "It was a suicide mission." Luckily, he and the submersible survived that dive. Anyone diving the Titanic in OceanGate's submersible was playing Russian Roulette.

    James Cameron is so tech-savvy and knowledgable, he could've easily pursued a career in engineering, although that would've robbed us of the many great movies that he made. I've seen multiple interviews with him about the incident and he really hits the perfect tone. Heartfelt compassion for the familys left behind, but also relentlessly critizising the whole operation and how amateurishly it had been carried out. He's also very modest considering the fact that he is probably one of the leading experts in deep submersible diving, so he definitely knows much more than just "a thing or two", as he stated in a prior interview.

    Major respect to James Cameron! I knew he was an amazing director and film maker but apparently he's a brilliant engineer in the field! And on the other end of things, Titanic now claims 5 more lives....

    Everything’s about this submarine going missing just doesn’t make sense. The submarine going missing just seems like a perfect way to fake a death or get out of something happening.
    The submarine specs are laughable at most. The video game controller to control the sub, the 2 foot window to actually spectate stuff, the sub being basically locked from the outside, the lack of backup for communication or emergency. It just doesn’t make sense how under prepared they were for anything.

    James Cameron is an engineer, not an artist. This interview was 1,000 times better than Avatar.

    couldnt say it better than Cameron did, thats the scary thing about deep ocean and space exploration, there is no rescue.

    I love James Cameron. He is known for his wild temper but he has lived such an amazing life and has a fantastic and intelligent outlook on things. He is an innovator. Also, mad appreciation for Andersoon Cooper for actually letting people talk, he is just as swell. A perfect matchup to get the message of this tragedy across.

    I’m sorry he crew and passengers lost their lives but i truly feel that there are certain things you are not meant to do. The Titanic sinking was a horrible tragedy and it is also the final resting place of over 100 other people. Let them rest! Leave that place alone.

      You do realise other submersible went there time and time again and this is the only incident. This is due to the company ceo cut corners and didn't pay heed to advice.

    You can tell James Cameron feels a duty to educate people so the same mistakes aren’t made again. And don’t have “Titan” anywhere in a sea vessel name. Ocean takes it as challenge accepted.
